I don't see the problem - I've a load of friends who happen to be female & attractive, yet the idea of being 'more than just friends' has never cropped up, nor need it in a mature relationship

What, having a cow as a best buddy isn't a bit pervy?

Well, that's true for the most part, but I'd say there's three or four friends in the group, one of them a really good one. And a few others outside of school. Then there was that one female friend who decided to mess up our friendship and as a result we've been sharing a flat for three years

I had to vote "Yes". I have few female friends and some of them even look quite nice (not realy my taste but that's something few drinks can solve) and still I feel no need to have sex with them. It is true that most of them are married but I don't think you can blame my high moral for not even trying.
The only fair question is am I afraid to get a NO answer ?

Most of my friends are women come to think of it. The one's I actually consider "friends" anyway, rather than the ones I just acquaint with. Don't get me wrong, I've got my boys to have a good old laugh with and to do what us guys do best with (i.e. getting horrifically drunk, pulling, partying, doing dumb sh*t for the pure fun of it), but I find I can talk to women about sensitive stuff moreso. And I have a lotta sensitive stuff to talk about  so you do the math. I voted for the first option.

Tiger Woods was able to have a female friend who was only a friend. Oh wait, nope, breaking news, he was having an affair with her too.

Frankly, any adult relationship has some degree of sexuality to it. Sexuality comes in all sorts of shapes, colors, and intensity. And it certainly doesn't mean any of it goes anywhere near physical contact.
Dawkins and Mike being a perfect example... 
Just the fact that you think to yourself "Would I?" means you're already there.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

In re: to Finn's avatar: That scene in Battlestar where Kara and Adama Jr. were boxing each other, was a rather unfortunate scene for the show, but it also was somewhat instrumental in showing Kara's ability to stand toe to toe with the big dogs. And they couldn't just be friends.
